Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II in English is known as Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II. This monument was built to honor the first king of unified Italy - Victor Emmanuel. I saw this monument from far when I was on Palatine Hill, and at the same time I also over heard a tour guide while she was explaining this monument to the tourists. It seems that most Roman did not like this white building and they call it as 'The White Cake'. There are 3 reasons why this building was unlike by most Roman: 1. It blocked the whole view of Rome from Palatine Hill. 2. The design did not match Forum Romanum. 3. Roman had spent so much money to build this building, which to them the building is useless.

The statues of Victoria Angel riding on a chariot were placed on top of the building. The overall height (including the chariot) of this building is 443 feet while the width is 266 feet.
